The trick is to see if you have a supported video card or not. When your system boots (check dmesg) do you see a line that looks something similar to this? fb0: stifb 1280x1024-32 frame buffer device, id: 2bcb015a, mmio: 0xfa100000 If you see the fb0: device, then you can use X on the framebuffer driver. I can send you my config if you would like, but I think I'm using the default config the debian package setup for me. If you do not see the fb0: line, then you can not run X on the system yet because HP has not released any documentation on the drivers. [Note: there is an effort underway (check the recent archives) about getting X running on a voodoo2 card on a c200 so that effort might be of interest to you also! - Ryan On Fri, 2002-08-30 at 16:28, Michael Madden wrote: > Hello: > > Has anyone gotten X to work with the Debian 3.0 port on a PA-RISC C200 machine? > I have a C200 that I've installed Debian 3.0 on, but I cannot get X setup > correctly. > > The hardware is: > Main memory size: 768 Mbytes > 1 Raven U 200 (9000/780/C200) processor > 2 16550A serial ports > 1 ethernet interface > eth0: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 48 > PCI bus devices: > SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly NCR) 53c875 (rev 4). > Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 48). > Display controller: PCI device 103c:1008 (Hewlett-Packard Company) (rev 2).
